She’s with Nick Cross, who’s a friend of a friend of mine, Suzanne Marsden. Troy Little is one of their friends too. They’re all very talented animators, cartoonists and artists.

When I see great art, I get such an urge to draw portraits, pretty intense. Sometimes the urge is to sculpt. My daughter gets these strong urges too. Wait until I show her these paintings. When we have the money to spare, I’d like to buy one of her magnificent paintings.
